Description Laurent Pointecouteau 2014-10-20 10:17:23 UTC
Since I've upgraded to GNOME 3.14 on my Arch Linux setup, I've noticed that some apps (like the Shell notifications or Firefox) open Audacious when I'm trying to access to a directory. This bug has been reported  two years before to Arch Linux (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30034) and Audacious, twice (http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/projects/audacious/search?issues=1&q=inode) but were both rejected. If I'm understanding those reports correctly, this is a GNOME-related issue, where it needs to comply with freedesktop.org standards, and this could happen with apps other than Audacious.

Currently there are some workarounds, but I'm not sure which one should be implemented upstream. It's still a somewhat annoying issue, because fixing it currently means to fiddle with text files to modify system-wide configuration, which is less than ideal.
